SURVEY ON THE MEAT CONTENT OF CERTAIN MEAT<br />

PRODUCTS.<br />

This survey was conducted as part of the <strong>Agency</strong>’s food authenticity programme, which<br />

aims to gather information about the description of food in the UK.<br />

Summary<br />

• Meat products, whether prepacked or sold loose, are required to declare how much<br />

meat they contain by species i.e. % beef, % pork etc. The purpose of this survey was<br />

to check whether meat product manufacturers are calculating and declaring meat<br />

content correctly in response to changes in labelling legislation requirements. The<br />

survey also evaluated the suitability of the <strong>Agency</strong>’s recommended approach to<br />

calculating meat content.<br />

• Twenty six local authorities collected recipes, samples of raw materials and final<br />

products at the point of manufacture on 191 meat products covering sausages,<br />

burgers, pies and kebabs from 146 different manufacturers.<br />

• The meat ingredients were analysed for fat, total nitrogen and hydroxyproline by a<br />

consortium of five public analysts to determine their fat, protein and connective tissue<br />

content. A full compositional analysis was carried out on final products, where these<br />

had been collected.<br />

• The meat content was calculated using three separate methods. Two were recipe<br />

based calculations: the FSA method is based on the manufacturer’s visual lean (VL)<br />

estimation of meat ingredients by eye and reference to typical values of fat and<br />

connective tissue; whereas the CLITRAVI (Liaison Centre for the Meat Processing<br />

Industry in Europe) method is based on analytical values of fat and connective tissue<br />

in the meat ingredients. The third method (Stubbs and More calculation), which is<br />

limited to single species products, is based on analysing the meat product for nitrogen<br />

and fat and using agreed nitrogen factors to calculate the meat content.<br />

1


• Despite a requirement for a meat content declaration since 1984, six (3%) out of the<br />

191 product descriptions examined did not give a quantitative meat declaration. A<br />

further four products (2%) quantified the meat content, but did not declare it in the<br />

correct format.<br />

• Overall the survey indicates that the manufacturers sampled are declaring their meat<br />

contents accurately. This was confirmed by comparing the manufacturer’s meat<br />

declaration to the meat content determined by the CLITRAVI and Stubbs and More<br />

calculations, taking into account the analytical tolerances. Declaring more meat than is<br />

actually present misleads consumers, but only 3% (using the CLITRAVI calculation) of<br />

the samples and 4% (using the Stubbs & More calculation) overdeclared the amount<br />

of meat. If the tolerance is increased to 10%, then only two (1%) products declared<br />

more meat than calculated using the CLITRAVI method. In 41% (CLITRAVI) or 40%<br />

(Stubbs and More) of the products, the manufacturer’s meat contents were<br />

underdeclared compared to the two respective calculations, which could be to the<br />

disadvantage to the manufacturer.<br />

• The results also showed that the FSA calculation of meat content accords reasonably<br />

well with the CLITRAVI calculation, which is the EU recommended method. Nearly<br />

70% of the samples, the FSA calculations were within 5% of the CLITRAVI<br />

calculations, and only one sample had a higher meat content by the FSA calculation<br />

than by the CLITRAVI calculation. 30% of the samples had a lower meat content by<br />

the FSA calculation than the CLITRAVI method, which can be attributed almost totally<br />

to underestimating the VL of the meat ingredients.<br />

• The Stubbs and More calculation, which is used by UK enforcement laboratories<br />

(public analysts), also agreed reasonably well with the CLITRAVI calculation. If a meat<br />

product is found to have a lower meat content using the Stubbs and More calculation<br />

than that declared by the manufacturer, then this could be regarded by public analysts<br />

as an adverse result. In three cases in this survey, the meat content declarations are<br />

lower by 10% or more using the Stubbs and More calculation, when this was not the<br />

case for the CLITRAVI method. If possible, meat content determination by the<br />

CLITRAVI method in-factory is therefore useful if adverse results have been based on<br />

the Stubbs and More calculation<br />

2


• In 57% of the products, the VL of the meat ingredients estimated by the manufacturer<br />

was at least 10% lower than the VL determined by fat analysis. The accuracy of the<br />

FSA calculation could therefore be improved if VL determination by manufacturers also<br />

improved. The <strong>Agency</strong> should investigate ways of helping small businesses achieve<br />

this.<br />

• Participating local authorities and the manufacturers have been provided with the<br />

results of this survey. Cases where there was no declaration or the meat content was<br />

overdeclared have been followed up by subsequent visits. The overdeclared meat<br />

contents have been subsequently revised. Many manufacturers were already aware<br />

that they were underdeclaring the meat content, and preferred to build in a margin of<br />

error given the variability of the meat ingredients. In general, the survey has shown that<br />

most manufacturers including small businesses are well aware of the change in<br />

labelling rules and are able to calculate meat contents in response to these changes.<br />

Background<br />

1. The <strong>Food</strong> Authenticity Programme supports the <strong>Agency</strong>’s objectives of promoting<br />

consumer choice through honest and informative labelling and reducing food fraud. As part<br />

of this work, the <strong>Agency</strong> undertakes surveys in partnership with local authorities to<br />

investigate problems of misdescription, fraud, and compliance with food standards<br />

legislation.<br />

2. The amount of meat in a meat product is an important piece of information for<br />

consumers in deciding which product to buy. Amendments to labelling rules have changed<br />

the way meat is declared and how the meat content is calculated. The <strong>Food</strong> Labelling<br />

Regulations 1996 as amended, define meat from different species (i.e. beef, pork etc.),<br />

and there are limits on the amount of fat and connective tissue, which has potentially<br />

complicated the calculation of the meat content. In response to these changes, the <strong>Agency</strong><br />

developed guidance to assist businesses to understand the changes and calculate meat<br />

content. Because of the large number of meat products sold loose in UK supermarkets<br />

and butchers shops, there is also a requirement to inform consumers about the meat<br />

content of products sold loose, as well as for prepacked products.<br />

3


Objectives of survey<br />

3. This survey was commissioned to check the accuracy of meat content declarations<br />

of a range of meat products in compliance with the <strong>Food</strong> Labelling Regulations 1996 and<br />

Meat Products (England) Regulations 2003 and the corresponding Scotland, Wales and N.<br />

Ireland Regulations. It will examine how well manufacturers are coping with the<br />

calculations and changes in legislation, and will assist enforcement officers to identify<br />

problem areas of compliance and whether any changes are necessary in the <strong>Agency</strong>’s<br />

guidance. The results will indicate whether the FSA method to calculate meat content is<br />

still appropriate and accurate.<br />

Legislation<br />

4. The UK has had legislation since 1984 (1) requiring manufacturers to declare meat<br />

contents in prepacked meat products and those sold loose. Changes in labelling legislation<br />

now apply a quantitative ingredient declaration (2) (QUID) in food products. In order to<br />

ensure that the meat content is consistently calculated in all EU Member States, there is a<br />

generic definition of ‘meat’ (3) . This definition of ‘meat’ as an ingredient is restricted to<br />

skeletal muscle with certain limits for fat and connective tissue for the different species.<br />

The UK previously declared meat content in terms of “minimum meat content %”. Under<br />

QUID this has changed to require the declaration in the list of ingredients of how much of<br />

each species of meat (% beef, % pork, % lamb etc.) is used in the product as a<br />

percentage of the final product. The Meat Products (England) Regulations (MPR) 2003<br />

(and the corresponding Regulations in Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland), which replace<br />

earlier legislation, also maintain a previous requirement for meat ingredient declarations in<br />

products sold loose. These changes have potentially made the calculation of ‘meat’<br />

content more complicated for some products especially those with high levels of fat and<br />

connective tissue.<br />

5. The maximum fat and connective tissue contents permitted in meat as an ingredient<br />

are given in Table 1 below:<br />

Table 1 Limits on Fat and Connective Tissue in Meat (3)<br />

total meat protein<br />

Pork 30 25<br />

Birds and rabbits 15 10<br />

All other red meats and mixtures 25 25<br />

Where a prepacked product has excess fat and/or connective tissue above the limits, this<br />

has to be declared (but not quantified) in the list of ingredients (e.g. pork fat, chicken skin).<br />

Sample Collection<br />

6. Twenty six local authorities (see Annex 1) from across the UK collected samples<br />

and information to a detailed sampling protocol developed by the <strong>Agency</strong> on 191 meat<br />

products from 146 different meat product manufacturers. Local authority enforcement<br />

officers were requested to take samples during their normal food standards inspections of<br />

meat product manufacturers between February and end of May 2006. The survey<br />

restricted the meat products collected to sausages, burgers, kebabs and pies, as those<br />

products are produced in both large and small businesses. Samples of the meat<br />

ingredients, finished products (when made from one species), recipes, VL contents and<br />

labelling or description information were collected. A breakdown of the products<br />

investigated is given in Table 2.<br />

Analytical methods<br />

7. Ingredients and products were sent to a consortium of five public analysts (Durham,<br />

Lancashire, Leicester, Staffordshire, West Yorkshire) for analysis according to an agreed<br />

protocol. Meat ingredients were analysed for fat, nitrogen and hydroxyproline using the<br />

methods listed in Table 3, to allow calculation of the fat, protein and collagen content.<br />

Connective tissue content is defined as the percentage of collagen in total meat protein.<br />

Hydroxyproline is the chemical marker for collagen, and the collagen content is defined as<br />

hydroxyproline x 8. Finished products were analysed for their meat content using all the<br />

methods of analysis detailed in Table 3.<br />

Quality Assurance<br />

8. The public analyst laboratories taking part in the survey are all accredited by UKAS<br />

for the BS methods (or their equivalent) listed in Table 3. In addition, quality control checks<br />

on the analytical values were included by duplicating 1 in 10 samples, and using a canned<br />

meat reference material to check each batch of analyses.<br />

Calculation of Meat Content<br />

9. The <strong>Agency</strong> issued Guidance Notes on the Labelling and Composition of Meat<br />

Products (4) ,and recommended two possible methods for manufacturers to calculate meat<br />

content declarations based on recipes and the mixing bowl.<br />

FSA Method<br />

10. The introduction of fat and connective tissue limits implies that these components<br />

need to be determined before the QUID meat content can be calculated. The FSA method<br />

was devised as a practical rather than analytical method for calculating the meat content.<br />

The calculation relies on the manufacturer’s estimation of the VL content of each meat<br />

ingredient by eye. The fat and connective tissue contents of the meat ingredients are taken<br />

from reference tables in the Guidance Notes based on their species, VL, and type of<br />

meat cuts. These values are used to calculate the total amount of fat and connective<br />

tissue for each meat species ingredient, based on the ingoing weight in the recipe, which<br />

are compared to the limits given in Table 1. If the fat and/or connective tissue is/are in<br />

excess, the meat ingredient content is adjusted down by allowing the fat and/or connective<br />

tissue only up to the permitted limits. The detail of the calculation is given in Annex 2. A<br />

meat content calculator spreadsheet is available on the <strong>Agency</strong>’s website (5) , which will<br />

calculate the QUID automatically on entering the recipe and type of meat ingredient.<br />

6


CLITRAVI (Liaison Centre for the Meat Processing Industry in Europe) Method<br />

11. The second calculation proposed is called the CLITRAVI method, after the<br />

European trade association that proposed it, and is the method recommended by the<br />

European Commission. This method requires that the fat and connective tissues contents<br />

of all the meat ingredients are determined analytically. It also uses the recipe information<br />

to calculate the meat content and any excess fat or connective tissue. The only other<br />

substantial difference between the FSA and CLITRAVI calculations is that a conversion<br />

factor for collagen to connective tissue of 4.625 (37÷8) is used to calculate any excess<br />

connective tissue. Details of the CLITRAVI calculation can be found in Annex 3.<br />

Visual lean<br />

12. As the estimation of VL content is central to the FSA calculation, the survey<br />

included a check on how well manufacturers are carrying out this estimation by comparing<br />

it to the lean/fat content determined through analysis. Underestimation of VL content will<br />

result in a reduced meat content using the FSA calculation. Annex 6 identifies both the<br />

estimated and actual VL for each meat product. VL is calculated as follows, which takes<br />

into account a further 10% “hidden” fat in the meat tissues:<br />

Total fat % = (100 - % estimated VL) + 0.1 x % estimated VL; and<br />

Actual VL % = (100 – analytical fat content) ÷ 0.9<br />

Stubbs and More Calculation using Nitrogen Factors<br />

13. This method is a standard approach to measure the meat content of a meat<br />

product, and is based on determining the nitrogen content of the product as a marker for<br />

meat content. Nitrogen factors for all the main meat species and cuts have been<br />

determined in previous studies (see Annex 4). The meat based nitrogen is determined by<br />

subtracting any non-meat nitrogen (usually rusk or soya) from the total nitrogen of the<br />

product. The fat free meat is calculated using the nitrogen factor, and then the fat is added<br />

to give the total meat content. This calculation has been revised to take into account the<br />

fat and connective tissue limits applied to meat ingredients. As nitrogen factors are specific<br />

for each species and even each cut, this calculation can only effectively be used in single<br />

species meat products. The details of the calculation can be found in Annex 4.<br />

Uncertainty<br />

14. As with all analytical determinations, there is an experimental uncertainty which has<br />

to be taken into account when calculating meat content by the CLITRAVI and Stubbs and<br />

7


More calculations. This is outlined in Annex 5, and for meat contents up to 90%, the<br />

uncertainty for the CLITRAVI method (determining fat, nitrogen and hydroxyproline) has<br />

been calculated as 6% meat content. The Stubbs and More calculation involves the<br />

analytical determinations of moisture, ash, fat, nitrogen, and hydroxyproline content, as<br />

well as the uncertainty around the use of an average nitrogen factor. The uncertainty using<br />

the Stubbs and More method has been calculated as 7% meat content for meat contents<br />

up to 90%.<br />

Results<br />

15. Six (3%) of the 191 products sampled by enforcement officers did not provide the<br />

quantitative ingredient declaration. As meat content declarations have been required in<br />

sausages, burgers, pies etc since 1984, it was a little surprising this number of the<br />

products examined in the survey failed to declare the meat content. A further four products<br />

(2%) quantified the meat, but did not declare it in the correct format. Most of these gave a<br />

‘total meat %’ rather than identifying species separately e.g. pork %, beef %. These<br />

problems would have been raised and discussed by the enforcement officers with the<br />

manufacturer when samples were taken or at a subsequent visit.<br />

16. The meat contents of all products were calculated by the three methods (Stubbs<br />

and More for single species products), and the results of these calculations along with the<br />

QUID (declaration) given by the manufacturer, the estimated VL and the actual VL of the<br />

meat ingredients are given in Annex 6.<br />

17. In order to determine how well manufacturers are coping with meat content<br />

declarations and <strong>Agency</strong> Guidance Notes, two questions are posed:<br />

(a) How accurate are the manufacturers’ meat contents?<br />

(b) Is the FSA method still appropriate to calculate meat contents?<br />

How accurate are the manufacturers’ meat contents?<br />

18. In order to answer question (a), the declaration from the CLITRAVI calculation and<br />

the Stubbs and More calculations, which are based on either the analysis of the<br />

ingredients or the final products, were compared to the manufacturers’ meat content<br />

declarations (QUID). The results of this comparison are given in Table 4. Overdeclaration<br />

of meat content i.e. declaring more meat than is actually present in the product is<br />

undesirable because it misleads the consumer into believing there is more meat than there<br />

8


actually is. Comparing with the meat contents derived from the CLITRAVI and Stubbs and<br />

More calculation, 3% (CLITRAVI) and 4% (Stubbs and More) of quantitative ingredient<br />

declarations in the sampled products were overdeclared.<br />

Suitability of the FSA method.<br />

19. To answer question (b), the declarations calculated by the FSA method were<br />

compared with the meat contents calculated by the CLITRAVI method. As a comparison<br />

the Stubbs and More meat contents were also compared with the CLITRAVI method (see<br />

Table 5). In addition, as the estimation of VL is such an important part of the FSA<br />

calculation, an indication whether the VL has been estimated correctly has also been<br />

presented in Table 5. Comparing the FSA and CLITRAVI calculations of meat content and<br />

using a 5% tolerance, in almost 70% of the samples the two meat contents were in<br />

agreement, but in 30% of the samples the FSA calculation gave a lower meat content.<br />

Only one sample gave a higher meat content using the FSA calculation than CLITRAVI.<br />

20. The results in Annex 6 were sent to both the manufacturers whose products had<br />

been sampled, and the local authorities who had collected the samples. Although written<br />

comments were requested, none were received. However a number of manufacturers and<br />

local authorities telephoned the <strong>Agency</strong> to discuss their results. Local authority<br />

enforcement officers were also asked whether any action had been taken as a result of the<br />

findings.<br />

Discussion<br />

Accuracy of the meat declaration<br />

21. Where manufacturers follow their recipes closely, the CLITRAVI calculation should<br />

be the most accurate method for the calculation of meat content. A comparison of the<br />

CLITRAVI method with manufacturers’ declarations in Table 4 shows that when taking into<br />

account the analytical tolerance only five (3%) samples were overdeclaring the meat<br />

content. Seventy eight (41%) of the samples were underdeclaring the meat content, which<br />

could disadvantage the manufacturer, but is not normally regarded as misleading the<br />

consumer.<br />

22. The Stubbs and More calculations of meat content give similar results when<br />

compared with the manufacturers’ QUID in Table 4. Only eight (4%) of samples were<br />

overdeclaring the meat content by 7% or more in comparison with the Stubbs and More<br />

determination, and 76 (40%) of samples were underdeclaring the QUID.<br />

Suitability of the FSA calculation to give a QUID<br />

10


23. In Table 5, when the FSA calculation is compared to the CLITRAVI calculation<br />

using a 5% tolerance, almost 70% of meat contents were in agreement. Given that the<br />

FSA calculation depends on visual estimation and typical fat and connective tissue tables,<br />

this is a good result. Only one sample gave a higher meat content compared to the<br />

CLITRAVI calculation. These survey results therefore confirm that the FSA method is a<br />

less onerous approach and continues to be a valid method for meat content calculation.<br />

24. In the remaining 57 (30%) of the samples where the FSA calculated meat content<br />

was lower the CLITRAVI meat content, 48 (25%) of these cases could be explained<br />

because the VL of the meat ingredients was underestimated. In many cases, fat levels<br />

were found to be nearly half of those estimated, which would bring them below the limits<br />

set in the definition of meat and increase the meat content. Some manufacturers have<br />

admitted that they are aware that they are underdeclaring the meat content to give a<br />

margin of error due to the variability of fat content in the meat.<br />

Visual Lean<br />

25. VL determination by eye can be a subjective measurement, and requires<br />

experience. Bulk supplies of meat are traded in different VL categories, and cutting plant<br />

operators are more experienced in VL determination. Until the labelling rules changed,<br />

smaller businesses did not need to determine VL of their meat ingredients so accurately.<br />

In this survey, in 109 (57%) of the products, the VL estimation of the main meat ingredient<br />

was underestimated by 10% or more. VL levels of 75-80VL for pork, and 80-85VL for beef<br />

or lamb are the limits at which the ingredients count 100% towards the meat content<br />

(assuming no excess connective tissue). An underestimation of the VL around these levels<br />

can make a significant difference to the meat content using the FSA method. Therefore<br />

assisting businesses (for example, providing colour photographs to aid comparison or<br />

more objective methods) will improve how the VL is determined and subsequently improve<br />

the accuracy of the FSA method.<br />

Comparison of CLITRAVI with Stubbs and More calculation<br />

26. The Stubbs and More calculation has a long standing use by public analysts to<br />

decide whether meat contents have been declared correctly. With the change in labelling<br />

rules, the use of nitrogen factors is in most cases only suitable for single species meat<br />

products. In this survey, 19 of the products were of mixed species. In Table 5, 65% of the<br />

meat contents calculated by the Stubbs and More method accord within 5% of the<br />

11


CLITRAVI calculation, which is a very positive result. Only 13 (7%) of the samples gave a<br />

lower calculated meat content when compared against the CLITRAVI method. There were<br />

18% of samples which gave higher meat content than CLITRAVI. This could be explained<br />

partly by the uncertainty of the analytical results and partly because the nitrogen factor<br />

applied may not have been appropriate to the raw materials used in the product.<br />

27. A potential problem could arise if the meat content given by the Stubbs and More<br />

was lower by at least 10% than the meat content declared by the manufacturer, yet the<br />

QUID was correct when calculated by the CLITRAVI method. Based solely on the Stubbs<br />

and More calculation, this would be regarded by public analysts as an adverse result. Of<br />

the eight samples giving an overdeclaration of meat content with Stubbs and More, only 3<br />

were also overdeclaring using the CLITRAVI method. The remaining five samples had a<br />

CLITRAVI meat content of 10% or less than that determined by the Stubbs and More<br />

calculation. This difference could arise if manufacturers were not following their recipes<br />

accurately, or if the appropriate nitrogen factors were not being used in the calculation.<br />

Given the discrepancy between the two calculations in the case of these five samples, it<br />

would be appropriate to carry out a further investigation and calculate the meat content<br />

using the in-factory CLITRAVI method as well as the Stubbs and More approach before<br />

deciding whether to take a prosecution.<br />

Conclusions<br />

28. Overall the meat product manufacturers sampled appear to be coping well with the<br />

change in requirements to declare meat content (QUID) in the light of the definition of meat<br />

in the <strong>Food</strong> Labelling Regulations 1996 as amended.<br />

• 3% of the products investigated gave no meat content declaration but<br />

manufacturers would have been required to provide this information either during<br />

the visit made by the enforcement officer or after receiving their results from the<br />

<strong>Agency</strong>. Similarly, the 2% of samples where the declarations were not in the correct<br />

format were also drawn to the attention of the manufacturers.<br />

• In checking the manufacturers’ declarations, 3% of the samples overdeclared the<br />

meat content according to the CLITRAVI method, and 4% using the Stubbs and<br />

More method. In terms of accuracy, 43% of the samples manufacturers had<br />

underdeclared the meat content when compared to the CLITRAVI calculation, but<br />

only 3 (2%) of the samples was the meat content overdeclared by more than 10%.<br />

Using the Stubbs and More determination, similar figures were obtained.<br />

12


• The FSA calculation of meat content accorded reasonably well with the CLITRAVI<br />

method, and would permit meat content calculation without requiring any analysis of<br />

meat ingredients. Improving VL determination would achieve more accurate results<br />

so that meat contents are not underdeclared. The <strong>Agency</strong> should investigate ways<br />

to help businesses achieve this.<br />

• The Stubbs and More method is limited to single species products, but it accords<br />

well with the CLITRAVI method based on the recipe. In some cases, high meat<br />

contents have been obtained, probably because more specific nitrogen factors<br />

should have been used. In eight cases, the determined meat content was lower by<br />

more than 7% than the declared meat content, however in only three of these cases<br />

the determined meat contents were also overdeclaring using the CLITRAVI method.<br />

Therefore, if it is possible any adverse results after checking meat content by the<br />

Stubbs and More method should follow-up with an in-factory CLITRAVI calculation.<br />

• In those cases where there was no declaration or the meat content was<br />

overdeclared have been followed up by subsequent visits. The overdeclared meat<br />

contents have been subsequently revised. The companies are also aware of the<br />

results of their own products.<br />

FSA METHOD TOP CALCULATE MEAT CONTENT ANNEX 2<br />

Section 1 – Complete Ingredients Table<br />

The purpose of this section is to work out the overall levels of fat and connective tissue in<br />

your ingredients as a whole.<br />

Step 1 – Write in all the ingredients from the same species in Column A. Use the table of typical values (at<br />

Annex C in Guidance Notes) to write in the figure for fat, collagen and protein for each ingredient (these are<br />

percentages).<br />

Step 2 – For each ingredient, multiply the weight of the ingredient (column B) by the figures for fat (column<br />

C), collagen (column D), and protein (column E) in turn. Write the answers in the corresponding columns on<br />

the right of the table i.e., column F (fat), column G (collagen) and column H (protein).<br />

Step 3 – Add up the totals of columns F, G and H, and enter the totals in the respective boxes for total fat,<br />

total collagen and total protein.<br />

Step 4 – Divide the total fat (column F) by the total weight of the ingredients (column B) Multiply this by 100.<br />

This is the overall percentage of fat in your ingredients; enter it in the relevant box at the bottom right.<br />

Where this is above the fat limit for the species in question – you have “excess fat”. (Although bear in mind<br />

you may need to re-calculate this later).<br />

Step 5 – Divide the total collagen (column G) by the total protein (column H). Multiply this by 100. This is<br />

the overall connective tissue percentage of your ingredients; enter it in the relevant box at the bottom right.<br />

Where this is above the connective tissue limit for the species in question – you have “excess connective<br />

tissue”.<br />

Example: Pork and Beef Sausage (pork ingredients).<br />

(The full calculation for this example is given at Annex D, example 2).<br />

Total CT percentage = total collagen, divided by total protein, multiplied by 100 ⇒ 30.99<br />

15


Section 2 – Correct for Excess Connective Tissue<br />

The purpose of this step is to work out how much of your connective tissue may be<br />

counted towards the meat content – and how much must be deducted from your total.<br />

1. Calculate fat-free meat<br />

total meat X<br />

percentage of fat<br />

100<br />

total meat – total weight of fat = fat-free meat<br />

= total weight of fat<br />

3. Calculate fat-free, connective tissue-free meat<br />

total CT percentage X<br />

fat-free meat<br />

100<br />

= total connective tissue<br />

fat-free meat – total connective tissue = fat-free, CT-free meat<br />

4. Include allowed connective tissue<br />

Fat-free, CT-free meat X<br />

100<br />

(100 – limit for CT)<br />

= fat-free meat with CT allowance<br />

You now need to re-calculate your overall fat percentage, as this will have changed<br />

because of the correction you have made for excess CT.<br />

5. Re-calculate overall fat percentage<br />

weight of fat<br />

weight of fat + fat-free meat with CT allowance<br />

X 100 = overall fat percentage<br />

If your product is to be labelled with a list of ingredients, you now need to calculate<br />

the weight of excess connective tissue in order that it can be declared in the correct<br />

position in the list.<br />

6. Calculate weight of excess connective tissue (for purposes of ingredient listing)<br />

fat-free meat – fat-free meat with CT allowance = excess CT (kg)<br />

16


Section 3 – Add Fat Back in (i.e., where there is no excess fat)<br />

The purpose of this step is simply to include your existing fat in your final meat content.<br />

1. Add back in fat (only where there is no excess fat)<br />

fat-free meat with CT allowance + total fat = final meat content<br />

Section 4 – Correct for Excess Fat<br />

The purpose of this step is to work out how much of your fat may be counted towards your<br />

meat content, and how much must be deducted from your total.<br />

1. Include allowed fat<br />

Fat-free meat with CT allowance X<br />

1. Calculate fat-free meat<br />

total meat X<br />

percentage of fat<br />

100<br />

100<br />

total meat – total weight of fat = fat-free meat<br />

2. Include allowed fat<br />

Fat-free meat X<br />

100<br />

(100 – limit for fat)<br />

(100 – limit for fat)<br />

= total weight of fat<br />

= final meat content<br />

17<br />

= final meat content


If your product is to be labelled with a list of ingredients, you now need to calculate<br />

the weight of excess fat in order that it can be declared in the correct position in the<br />

list.<br />

3. Calculate weight of excess fat (for purposes of ingredient listing)<br />

total fat – (final meat content– fat-free meat with CT allowance) = excess fat<br />

Section 5 – Calculate final meat content percentage<br />

The purpose of this step is to work out either a QUID declaration, or your compositional<br />

meat content, based on the "final meat content" you have calculated.<br />

To calculate the QUID declaration:<br />

1. Calculate QUID declaration<br />

final meat content<br />

total weight of final product<br />

X 100 = QUID declaration<br />

To calculate your “meat content” in order to ensure that the product meets the<br />

relevant compositional standards<br />

1. Calculate compositional meat content<br />

final meat content<br />

total weight of all ingredients<br />

X 100 = compositional meat content<br />

.THE CLITRAVI METHOD ANNEX 3<br />

This method requires the use of analytical data for the level of fat, meat protein and<br />

hydroxyproline/collagen present in the meat ingredients. This will require chemical<br />

analysis of representative samples of ingredients from the mixing bowl.<br />

1. Determining the fat and connective tissue content of the meat ingredients<br />

Connective Tissue Content<br />

Where the collagen and protein content are determined by analysis from the<br />

hydroxyproline content, the connective tissue is calculated from the collagen content by<br />

using a suitable conversion factor (normally 37÷8) as follows:<br />

Collagen = hydroxyproline x 8,<br />

Connective tissue % = Collagen x 37÷8<br />

Notes:<br />

1. The values for protein, collagen and fat in the formulae below relate to the percentage of protein,<br />

collagen or fat in the total meat.<br />

2. The chemical fat, hydroxyproline and protein nitrogen can be determined using ISO methods or<br />

equivalent.<br />

3. Step 3 below requires the use of a suitable conversion factor for the conversion of collagen into<br />

connective tissue. The generally accepted factor of 37÷8 is recommended. However, where the<br />

specific nature of the connective tissue is known, and all the collagen derives from that source, then<br />

other more specific conversion factors may be used.<br />

The Calculation<br />

1. Calculate allowed collagen content<br />

allowed collagen content (%) =<br />

2. Calculate excess collagen<br />

limit for CT (%) X (protein in meat (%) – collagen in meat (%) )<br />

(100 – limit for CT)<br />

excess collagen (%) = collagen in meat (%) – allowed collagen content (%)<br />

If excess collagen (%) is ≤ 0, then there is no excess collagen or connective tissue; go to step 4. See<br />

also footnote on page 34.<br />

19


1. Convert excess collagen into excess connective tissue<br />

excess connective tissue (%) = excess collagen (%) X [conversion factor]<br />

2. Calculate allowed fat content<br />

• Where excess collagen > 0<br />

allowed fat content (%) =<br />

•<br />

Where excess collagen ≤ 0<br />

allowed fat content (%) =<br />

3. Calculate excess fat<br />

limit for fat (%) X (100 – excess CT – percentage of fat in total meat)<br />

(100 – limit for fat (%) )<br />

limit for fat (%) X (100 – percentage of fat in total meat)<br />

(100 – limit for fat (%) )<br />

excess fat (%) = percentage of fat in total meat – allowed fat content<br />

If excess fat (%) ≤ then there is no excess fat. See also footnote below.<br />

4. Calculate declarable meat<br />

declarable meat (%) = 100 – excess fat – excess connective tissue<br />

NB – values for “excess fat” or “excess connective tissue” should only be included in calculation 6,<br />

where there is actually an excess of fat or connective tissue (as appropriate) in the product.<br />

7. Calculate QUID declaration<br />

The ‘declarable meat’ represents the percentage of the total meat on which the QUID declaration may be<br />

based.<br />

QUID declaration (%) = declarable meat x<br />

total meat<br />

total weight of product<br />

STUBBS AND MORE CALCULATION USING NITROGEN FACTORS ANNEX 4<br />

STEP1 Calculate meat protein excluding contributions from non-meat nitrogenous sources:<br />

STEP2<br />

Meat Nitrogen (NM) = Total Nitrogen (NT) - non-meat Nitrogen (NNM)<br />

Meat Protein (PM) = 6.25 x NM<br />

Carbohydrate % (C) is normally determined by difference:<br />

Carbohydrate % (C) = 100 - (water% + fat% + protein% + ash%)<br />

(Where there is no information on non-meat nitrogen it is assumed that<br />

Non meat nitrogen = 0.02 x C.<br />

Where the non meat nitrogen is known from analysis of the ingredients this figure can be<br />

used)<br />

Calculate the collagen free meat protein:<br />

Collagen-free meat protein (PMCTFREE) = PM - Collagen (8 x %hydroxyproline)<br />

STEP3 Calculate the ratio between the collagen content and the meat protein content<br />

Connective Tissue% (CT%) = Collagen % x 100<br />

STEP4 Calculate the meat protein with the allowed collagen:<br />

a. If CT% < CTLIMIT %<br />

b.<br />

Where: CTLIMIT % = Limits for connective tissue provided by the EU Definition.<br />

Meat protein with allowed collagen (PM+CT) = PMCTFREE + collagen<br />

If CT% > CTLIMIT<br />

Meat protein with allowed collagen (PM+CT) = PMCTFREE x 100<br />

(100 – CTLIMIT)<br />

STEP5 Calculate excess collagen if CT% > CTLIMIT<br />

Excess collagen % = total Collagen – (PM+CT – PMCTFREE)<br />

STEP6 Calculate the fat free meat:<br />

Fat free meat % (FFM) = PM+CT x 100<br />

6.25 x Fat free Nitrogen Factor (Nff)<br />

PM<br />

21


STEP7 Calculate the meat content to include allowed fat:<br />

a. If: fat x 100 < fatLIMIT %<br />

FFM + fat<br />

Where: FatLIMIT % = Limit for fat provided by the EU Definition.<br />

Declarable meat content = FFM + fat<br />

b. If: fat x 100 > fatLIMIT<br />

FFM + fat<br />

Declarable meat content = FFM x100<br />

(100 – fatLIMIT)<br />

Step8 Calculate excess fat<br />

Excess fat = total fat – ( declarable meat content – fat free meat)<br />

CALCULATION OF ANALYTICAL UNCERTAINTY ANNEX 5<br />

a. The CLITRAVI Method<br />

14. The analytical uncertainty in determining the fat, nitrogen and hydroxyproline levels<br />

of the meat ingredients before using the CLITRAVI calculation has been determined as<br />

follows (using data from The Analyst, July, 1991, No. 7, pp. 761-766):<br />

Relative standard uncertainty of nitrogen determination (standard U/Value)<br />

= 0.022 (using V= 2.88 N)<br />

Relative standard uncertainty of hydroxyproline determination (standard U/V)<br />

= 0.035 (using V = 0.162 Hyp)<br />

Standard uncertainty for total fat = 0.4 (Using V = 20% fat)<br />

In the calculation of connecting tissue by the CLITRAVI method:<br />

% Connective tissue = (collagen ÷ protein) x 100<br />

= (hydroxyproline x 8 ÷ nitrogen x 6.25) x 100<br />

Combined uncertainty for connective tissue = √ (0.022) 2 + (0.035) 2<br />

= √ (.001709) = .04134<br />

Uncertainty for total meat = total defatted meat + fat content<br />

Assuming a defatted meat content of 70% and total fat content of 20%<br />

Combined uncertainty for total meat (for total meat content around 80%)<br />

= √(70 x .04134) 2 + (0.4) 2 = √ (8.53) = 2.92<br />

Taking the uncertainty at the 95% confidence level as 2x combined uncertainty for the total<br />

meat calculation = 2 x 2.92 = 6%<br />

15. Therefore for meat contents up to 90%, a total uncertainty of ±6% meat content<br />

would be acceptable to take into account methodology uncertainty for fat, protein and<br />

hydroxyproline determination using CLITRAVI calculation.<br />

b. Stubbs and More Calculation<br />

16. The analytical uncertainty is calculated similarly to CLITRAVI. However there are<br />

more analyses and a possible increased uncertainty by the use of a nitrogen factor to<br />

calculate fat free meat.<br />

Relative standard uncertainty of nitrogen factor (NF Standard U/V) = 0.023 (using NF V =<br />

3.50 for pork calculated from AMC Analyst 1991 Vol 116, pp761-66).<br />

23


Combined relative standard uncertainty for connective tissue = 0.04134<br />

Combined relative standard uncertainty for defatted meat content<br />

= √ (.04134) 2 + (0.023) 2 = √ (0.002238) = .0473<br />

Assuming a defatted pork content of 70% and total fat content of 20%<br />

Combined standard uncertainty for total meat (for total meat content around 80%)<br />

= √(70 x .0473) 2 + (0.4) 2 = √ (11.12) = 3.33<br />

Taking the uncertainty at the 95% confidence level as 2 x combined uncertainty for the<br />

total meat calculation = 2 x 3.33 = 6.7% = 7%<br />

17. Therefore for meat contents up to 90%, a total uncertainty of 7% meat content<br />

would be acceptable to take into account uncertainty for fat, protein, and hydroxyproline<br />

determination, the use of a nitrogen factor (pork) using the modified Stubbs and More<br />

approach. Note that the relative standard uncertainty for beef nitrogen factor is smaller<br />

(0.014), hence the use of an uncertainty of 7% would still be appropriate.<br />
